  1. An artesian well is a well from which water flows out under natural pressure without the need for pumping it out. In short, in an artesian well, water flows out by itself.
  2. The four necessary conditions for an artesian well to occur are:
  • The basin should be saucer shaped.
  • Permeable rock must be present between two non porous rocks.
  • The layer of permeable rock should be exposed to the ground surface so that water can sink below the surface.
  • Rainfall should be enough and sufficient to provide an adequate supply of underground water.
